Gerad was first going to have surgery this morning, but it has been put off till this afternoon. He needed to fast since 2 a.m., so he is getting extra hungry now, but still doing ok. The surgeon was very pleased with Gerad and asked Hannie and Marv if they wanted to participate in a study. They are still thinking about it. They would take various samples of skin , blood samples as well as samples during his operation.
Looking at other sick children around them, Hannie can't help but feel very blessed.
It will be a long day as we wait. Pray for Marvin, Hannie, Gerad, the doctors, grandparents and all who are involved with Gerads care.
Stay busy...
God is good, all the time.

kind of a hard decision to make..the study. how will Gerad take it all...how far do they go??

Sterkte met alles.

Hi Grie!
They decided to just do part of the study, but declined the part where they take a sample from his lungs since they would make an extra incision to get to it. Through this study they hope to have a better way to do this surgery in about three years.
Did Geraldine tell you I called? Hope to try again soon.
